Bucknell started the tournament on the 10th hole, and after opening with a bogey, Dodovich played her next nine holes in even par. She finished the day with two birdies, coming at holes 17 and 4, and 11 pars.

She birdied 4 and 6 to highlight an eight-hole stretch where she made two birdies and six pars.

Dodovich is tied for 18th place on the individual leaderboard, while Childers is T-30th.

Anna Dailey, playing as an individual, started her day with six straight pars and made 10 pars and five bogeys in her round, but three holes proved costly en route to an 87.
